These Gooey S’mores Bars feature a crispy graham cracker crust with a gooey marshmallow and milk chocolate filling, delivering the nostalgic campfire s’mores flavor in an easy, handheld bar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (honey-flavored preferred)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt flakes
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until edges turn golden brown and smell buttery.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven and immediately sprinkle milk chocolate chips evenly over it.
  6. Top the melted chocolate with mini marshmallows, spreading them evenly.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until marshmallows puff up and turn golden brown with toasted spots.
  8. Optionally sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes or chopped nuts on top.
  9. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to let the chocolate set and crust firm up.
  10. Slice into squares using a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried before slicing.

Notes

Press the crust tightly to ensure it holds together. Bake the crust before adding toppings to prevent sogginess. Watch marshmallows closely during baking to avoid burning. Use mini marshmallows for even melting. Cut bars with a warm knife for clean slices. Optional broil for 15-20 seconds for extra toasty marshmallows but watch carefully.
